Welcome to Bountiful Heirlooms:
I have always been a hobby person. I thought that I would document my hobbies -- quilting, decorative painting, cross stitching -- through a blog. I am also a teacher by nature, so I'll be sharing tips, tricks, tutorials and more.

Winterfest 2013

Each
of the past three years I've attended a great retreat, called Winterfest, at
the end of January. It's at a great winter lodge up in the mountains east of
Salt Lake called Daniel's Summit. Check out my cozy room from a past Winterfest.

While
attending Winterfest I've been able to take classes from well-known teachers such
as Kim Diehl, Carrie Nelson, and Joanna Figueroa. I'll be able to
take classes from Paula Barnes at the next Winterfest. Her company is now called Red Crinoline Quilts (although it
used to be Bonnie Blue Quilts). You're probably familiar with her lovely
traditional Civil War-style quilts.

I'm privileged to also be teaching at 2013 Winterfest. I will
be teaching a quilt called "Days of '47", based on the traditional
(but not well known) Salt Lake City block.
